I have to use the products the dealer supplies me with mostly malco but some off brand stuff. The compound I used is just called Perfect Polish. The quick spray is great on chrome, it takes waterspots off glass and it will clean black plastic too with no residue. I believe its called PolyMatrix. Thanks guys for all the responses!
 
Those wheels look awesome. All Ive had the pleasure of doing so far are clear coated rims. How long did all 4 wheels take you?

How long did it take you? Just kidding. I see it was asked several times. I don't think people read before they reply.

Thanks for replying...
I appreciate it very much

Good to know the products that are used by other forum members for their projects.
(Living in Ohio...I have first-hand knowledge of Malco).

Thanks for the reply!
 
Amazing results on the Chevy rims

Also amazed that a Dealer paid you to spend 2 to 3 hours on it

Great job
 
Damn very nice! I'd be to afraid to use compound on chrome because I'd think it would scratch the heck out of them. In your case though you didn't have much to lose because of the shape they were in. Great job bro they turned out great.

I thought for sure they were aluminum. You did a great job on those.

And by hand? Double kudos.
 
GREAT WORK!

Sometimes by hand is the only way to go, well worth the effort for sure!!
